A beautiful light in our world
once shining so bright.
Showing the way for so many
even through the darkest night.
A clear and strong voice
filled with peace and conviction.
Suffering through the hurt
of his painful affliction.
A compassionate heart
beating so sure and so strong.
Now silenced with age
but his legacy will live on.
A man filled with faith
and love for his Lord
now sleeps in eternal peace
and reaps his great reward.
A world that cries out
in mourning and grief
for the soul that we lost.
His time was too brief.
